Pump It Up created the indoor inflatable center market in 2000 by moving inflatable recreation from the backyards and fairgrounds into a safe and comfortable private indoor party facility in Pleasanton, California. Pump It Up began franchising in 2003 and now has over 240 franchised Party Facilities either open, looking for locations or under development. We are proud that our franchisees have made us the largest franchise chain in the children’s inflatable market.Being the largest should not be enough for you, however, when you make your decision on investing in a Pump It Up franchise. For you to become a successful franchisee you need more than a franchisor that has a great concept, or a franchisor that is the largest player in its segment. You should be looking for more than high praise and ratings from industry leading magazines (and we have a lot of those). You should be looking for more than just the best name recognition in our segment – and we certainly have that. What you should be looking for is a system that provides its franchisees with great support and cares about them as franchisees. You should be looking for a system that provides its franchisees with the tools they need to run their local businesses at a world class level. You should be looking for a franchisor that is constantly innovating it’s brand and improving on its own performance. You should be looking for a franchisor that not only consults with its franchisees but allows them to participate in directing the future of the company.At Pump It Up we are committed to providing our franchisees with a great franchise system. We begin our focus on the pre-opening development needs including location development. We continue with comprehensive franchisee and management training supported by world class operating manuals and local training tools. We maintain our relationship with our franchisees by providing them with innovative marketing programs and ongoing operational field and headquarters support. We provide our franchisees with the tools they need to manage and grow their businesses including our proprietary Franchise Management and Reservation system. We are continually working on ways to innovate the brand and stay a long way ahead of the competition.Pump It Up has created a Franchise Advisory Council and other Task Forces that give our franchisees a voice in formulating the direction of the system. Our franchisees participate with management in ensuring that each program we develop has their input and has been validated based on their local experience. We don’t just consult with our franchisees, we involve them in the future we share.
